SAN JOSE, Calif., July 10, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global B2C marketing automation company, Selligent Marketing Cloud, today unveiled the results of a successful digital campaign with Alliant Credit Union (Alliant), one of America’s largest digital financial institutions. The credit union launched content-driven campaigns to re-engage customers who lacked knowledge of how to use their Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC). Through a data-powered customer education program, Alliant saw a 126 percent rise in click rates, driving business growth with a 13 percent increase in usage of loan funds.
Alliant’s main challenge was activating members who had opened a loan but had not used them. By analyzing customer engagement data, they discovered that some members were not aware of how to use their lines of credit. By teaming up with Selligent Marketing Cloud, Alliant focused on educating customers and offering spending inspiration – whether it be to cover medical expenses, pay for a home remodel, or even to go on vacation.
“This campaign alleviated a critical pain point for our members by reminding them – at the right time – that using their HELOC is an option,” said Allison Videtti, Director of Marketing at Alliant Credit Union. “Selligent Marketing Cloud enabled us to target specific members and automate an effective re-engagement plan by using data to identify our member focus. This process helped to optimize and boost our HELOC program’s success rate. As a result, we delivered value to our customers while boosting revenue and getting the business insights we need to continuously improve on the program. It’s a win-win for both our brand and our members.”
The HELOC campaign drove impressive results and reignited otherwise dormant customer relationships. It positioned the bank as more than just a loan provider, they became a financial planner, educator, and partner to members who lacked important HELOC-related knowledge. In partnership with Selligent, the customer-focused approach brought major gains for Alliant:
- 13 percent rise in conversion rates
- 80 percent increase in click-to-open rates
- 126 percent increase in click rates
“Alliant’s campaign is the perfect example of using data to identify opportunities to engage with customers, strategize a timely course of action and deliver focused experiences that matter,” said John Hernandez, CEO of Selligent Marketing Cloud. “By focusing on customer needs -- in this case, education -- brands can build trust, strengthen customer understanding and drive business results.”
